"Ke-ke, from 'Drawings of Birds from Malacca', c.1805-18 (2)" is a work attributed to an anonymous artist, part of a collection of ornithological illustrations originating from the early 19th century. The artwork is one of several drawings that depict the diverse avian life found in and around Malacca, a historic region on the Malay Peninsula known for its rich biodiversity and cultural heritage. Created during a period when natural history and the scientific documentation of flora and fauna were becoming increasingly popular, these drawings are significant for their contribution to the understanding of the region's natural history.

The illustration of the "Ke-ke" bird is particularly notable for its detailed representation, capturing the physical characteristics and plumage of the species with precision and artistic finesse. The use of watercolors, a common medium for natural history illustrations of the time, allows for a vivid portrayal of the bird, emphasizing its colors and textures. While the exact species depicted and the identity of the artist remain unknown, the work reflects the broader European interest in cataloging and studying the natural world during the colonial era.

As part of the "Drawings of Birds from Malacca" collection, the "Ke-ke" illustration not only serves as an example of early 19th-century scientific illustration but also provides insight into the colonial encounter with the natural environment of Southeast Asia. The collection, to which this drawing belongs, is an important historical record and continues to be of interest to ornithologists, art historians, and those studying the cultural interactions between Europe and the Malay world during the period of British influence in the region.
